Chapter 467 - Open One’s Soul

The two stayed out for some time before returning to the apartment.

On the way back, Fang Chixia drank some beer, so she was a bit tipsy, and had to be carried by Luo Yibei.

“Why did you suddenly come back?” Fang Chixia was lying on his shoulder with her head inclined coldly to the side. She asked while he was walking.

Luo Yibei glanced at her askance, his eyes a bit sharp.

If it wasn’t for her, would he have troubled himself flying so far all the way home?

“Pretend I didn’t ask.” Fang Chixia’s spine cooled as he looked at her. She pouted and lied quietly on his back. A short while later, her face coldly lifted up again.

“After so many days over there, why didn’t you make a single phone call?”

“What did you say when I left the country?” Luo Yibei’s face turned sideways, his eyebrows raised.

Fang Chixia was startled, and was once again silenced.

When he left the country, she was the one who said she would call him every night!

Luo Yibei continued to walk with her on his back, and after a few steps, Fang Chixia’s faint voice sounded again.

“Luo Yibei, I’ve been very busy recently. After you left, I had a lot to deal with at Rongxi. I’m not very skilled. I’m a bit burnt out from dealing with them.”

Luo Yibei was startled and stopped in his tracks.

“Didn’t you look for Mom and Dad or Jinyang?”

The way he said “Mom and Dad” was so natural, giving the impression that Luo Xichen and Sha Weixing were her parents as well.

“I’m trying to handle things as I can on my own. I don’t want to bother others,” Fang Chixia explained.

Her independence was nurtured by the environment she had been raised in. She had always relied on herself before when she couldn’t find anyone to help her when she ran into problems.

As time went by, she got used to carrying everything herself.

Luo Yibei didn’t budge an inch and suddenly felt sour hearing her words.

After a moment of silence, he said, “There’s no need to be like this in the future. When you need help, just catch someone in Rongxi and ask directly.”

“Okay.” Fang Chixia vaguely responded.

The night breeze was a little chilly, so she wrapped her arms around his neck a little tighter. She couldn’t help but bury her head into his nape.

They didn’t drive when they went out, so Luo Yibei carried her on his back the whole way back.

Although Fang Chixia had never mentioned the Northern Ireland incident again, in fact she was still uncomfortable deep inside.

Between Su Ran and him, she chose to trust him. Just like when she got into trouble at Luo Yi’s place, Luo Yibei believed her without reservation and without asking anything.

However, no matter what the truth of the matter was, in the end, the one who gave Su Ran the opportunity to create this illusion was still Luo Yibei.

When they got home and were ready to sleep, she coldly said, “Luo Yibei, I don’t like that Su Ran appeared in your room at such a late hour.”

Luo Yibei was startled. He had not expected such a sudden confession.

Turning his head sideways, he stared at her for a while and rubbed her head with his hand. “I’ll pay attention later.”

“I’m going to take a bath.” Fang Chixia felt more comfortable and turned to the bathroom.

“Together!” Behind him came Luo Yibei’s teasing voice.

Fang Chixia ignored him and locked herself up as soon as she entered the bathroom.

She stank of alcohol and barbecue. After spending a few minutes there to wash them off, she was about to get out when the door suddenly opened. Luo Yibei blocked her in front, and before she could register what was happening, he directly carried her and stuffed her back into the bathtub.
